leonhard··on The death of web development education
what do you use for this approach? or you just let the LLM come up with the whole implementation without any frameworks?
leonhard··on EU fines Temu €200M for allowing sale of illegal products
What are these stores in Spain/Italy/Portugal?
leonhard··on Ask HN: Is the Job Market Actually Bad?
can you talk about the art installation section of your resume? it sounds really cool. how did you get into this niche and found projects? and is this kind of work not suitable as full-time freelance work?
leonhard··on Sergey Brin's Unretirement
This basically exists in Austria as “Altersteilzeit” [0] (“old age part time”). You even get 50% of your loss of income back through social security. So e.g. when reducing work by 40% you still get 80% of your salary. I’m guessing this is to incentivise employers to keep people near retirement employed as it would be much more expensive for the state to finance them if they were unemployed.

leonhard··on I sell onions on the Internet (2019)
can you elaborate on the phone basis with engineers? I can’t really imagine how that wouldn’t be much more hassle discussing details without written documents, so I’m intrigued
leonhard··on Spaced repetition for efficient learning (2019)
Do you have more experiences with learning dance moves and spaced repetition you can share? That sounds interesting. (Also what dance is it?)
leonhard··on No Socials November
How can you do that in the apps? Or do you just do it for the websites and not install the apps in the first place?
leonhard··on Show HN: Ikuyo a Travel Planning Web Application
I mean in Europe they’re also just a few hours train ride apart. (Or a few hours drive where your car rides the train.)
leonhard··on Startup Equity 101
what’s a generational startup?
leonhard··on How to build Intrinsic Motivation: a review of the science
Can you elaborate on that?
leonhard··on Europe needs its own social media platforms to safeguard sovereignty
Where you get the free VM from?
leonhard··on Launch HN: ASim (YC S21) – Mobile app that generates mobile apps
Would like to try it out but I’m not receiving the verification code on my UK number.
leonhard··on Show HN: Nue – Apps lighter than a React button
I really like the approach but the demo [0] doesn’t really work on iOS Safari (although might be my outdated 16.7.8 version). Scrolling doesn’t work, the layout and buttons have weird line breaks, the native search button is embedded in the custom designed one, leading to 2 icons…

leonhard··on Show HN: Metacheck – preview how any link appears on social media and chat apps
I just tried your URL on my WhatsApp and it shows up exactly as in the preview from the tool. My experience is is has to be the full URL with https:// and it only shows the first link, and it sometimes gets confused when you have multiple links in a message and shuffle them around/delete some of them.
leonhard··on Seven39 – a social media app that is only open for 3 hours every evening
do you have a repo or some starting points already? Would love something like that but always found it too annoying to figure out how to scrape it properly. (I’d especially like story summaries.)
leonhard··on Who would have won the Simon-Ehrlich bet over different decades?
> The loss or gain for each metal was then summed up to get the total. If the total basket of metals had increased in price, Ehrlich had to pay. If it decreased, Simon had to pay.

I think this is the wrong way around, as the price dropped and that’s why Ehrlich lost and had to pay, no?

leonhard··on Carving your space
Hey, I’m a new grad and have exactly that skill set. I couldn’t find a way to contact you in your bio, but I’d love to chat if you’re hiring!
leonhard··on The Collapse of Self-Worth in the Digital Age
Thank you, very interesting. Can you talk more about cold approaching respectfully? How did you overcome that feeling of being a creep in the beginning when you’re not calibrated yet on what works for you?
leonhard··on Show HN: Uisual – Free Tailwind CSS Components and Templates (No JavaScript)
Can you elaborate how you usually implement this?
leonhard··on Beyond introvert vs. extrovert
Any advice on how to develop such skills in charm and charisma?
leonhard··on Apple Maps Gradually Winning over Google Maps Users, Report Suggests
Apple Maps is also the only app that shows the exact entrance and exit to take on public transport in the cities I’ve used it in (Vienna, London: esp. time-saving there with often exits numbered 1–5 without clear indication where they lead to), and the station layout with underground walkways overlayed on the map is also very accurate.

The only annoying UX gripe I have is that it doesn’t show the arrival time, you have to do your own mental math to add the route duration to the start time you’ve entered.

leonhard··on Ask HN: Has anyone switched from a professional job to a more manual one?
Very interesting, thanks for the detailed answer!
leonhard··on Ask HN: Has anyone switched from a professional job to a more manual one?
Did you have previous experience in the construction industry or why would someone hire an inexperienced desk worker for such a job? (not trying to be demeaning, just curious) And how did you find/get the job?
leonhard··on Legs and knobs for IKEA and other furniture
Would love to see a photo of the final outcome!
leonhard··on Thinking hard makes the brain tired
How did you end up in the end and how did it affect you later if I may ask?
leonhard··on Italian government seeks to penalize the use of English words
Hm I’m not sure this is a good example, it’s really just a dialect. Any German speaker can usually understand most of it when concentrating a bit. And Wikipedia seems to agree. [1]

leonhard··on Open-Sourcing My YC Application (Athens Research, W21)
Thanks man, very insightful!
leonhard··on Open-Sourcing My YC Application (Athens Research, W21)
Thanks for replying yourself! That makes sense.

Following on, how did your interview go and what do you think made you stand out there? (or if you write a blog post on that separately I’d be very interested)

leonhard··on Open-Sourcing My YC Application (Athens Research, W21)
Given that you helped on it, what do you think made it stand out? From just reading through it, to me personally it doesn’t sound super in-depth or convincing, but I’d like to learn what I’m missing.
leonhard··on Hundreds of changes made to latest editions of Roald Dahl's books
Oh yes and we could call it Newspeak, that would be doubleplusgood so our children won’t develop any crimethink!
